I was working on building an IOS app to improve productivity.

Finally today, "Smart Sloth" is out on Product Hunt

Check it out and let me know your thoughts - https://www.producthunt.com/posts/smart-sloth

Smart Sloth is a task manager that helps you be more efficient with YOUR TIME. Smart Sloth uses the concept of timeboxing, which is to allocate a set amount of time to each task, therefore, creating a deadline which can increase the productivity of the user.

My first 'modern' website, python+flask+CSS+google app engine!! It's really a small app, but it was good to discover simple web tech after years of data modelling.~

https://death-proba-website.appspot.com/

The app just gives you a comparison of covid death probabilities to skydiving and other activities depending on age and sex. Can be helpful to make personal decisions.

For instance that a 40-49 male, if infected, has probability of dying equal to 75 jumps of skydiving.

(Please read disclaimers on the website)

I've finished my side project: https://www.brandingpavilion.com

I wanted to build, as I call it 'Global Creative Community' called Branding Pavilion which is an online directory of companies, events, job offers and interviews from the digital industry.

The idea behind this project is to help clients reach digital/marketing/software companies and create an online community.

Software stack of this project includes: Bootstrap 4 as a CSS framework, Vue.js for logic and functionality, Firebase for database and backend, Stripe as a payment method, Cloudflare for protection and security.

I am developing a integration platform for EDI(X12, EDIFACT) messages to be easily integrated with cloud based SaaS ERPs like Dynamics 365 F&O, BC, NetSuite etc. EDI is a complex piece of integration - diff formats, cryptography, data conversions, etc. this should be a easy to use platform that can act as a gateway to receive your messages and convert and relay it back to your ERP, backend, etc.

I have 3 pet projects.

(1) Bython, a basic Python interpreter written in C. I just want to have a taste of what it's like programming out a language so I won't go too far. It is dynamically typed and has automatic memory management. https://github.com/remykarem/bython. PRs welcome!

(2) minishell. This is a simple shell with only 2 commands: either you (i) hit enter to view 10 files of a folder at a time, or you (ii) enter a filename and view nbytes. I built this because a co-worker wanted to view a folder with 20+GB of files but couldn't do it with an `ls`. With this, I hope that we can casually explore a folder without having to print everything. https://github.com/remykarem/minishell.

(3) Scrollable Python documentation, a hack from the scrollable interface found in https://allennlp.org/tutorials. Use case is for people who are explaining Python code. https://github.com/remykarem/scrollable-python-documentation.

My command of C isn't that great so if you're interested to collaborate, I'm happy to be your apprentice :)
